There is only one thing that Jefferson Nighthawk, the original Widowmaker, really wanted to do and that was retire on a far away planet and raise a garden.

When a widowmaker takes on a widowmaker everyone runs for cover. There is only one man who can stand up to the clones of the Widowmaker... the Widowmaker himself.

The multiple Hugo Award-winning author resurrects the consummate bounty hunter in this action-packed novel of interstellar adventure. On Deluros VIII, Jefferson Nighthawk rests in DeepSleep until a cure is found for the disease that dooms him. At least, that would be the case if he wasn’t the Widowmaker, the most remarkable killing machine in the galaxy. There are those who will pay whatever it takes to hire a man with his talents. Or should we say clone . . . This isn’t the first time Nighthawk has been duplicated, but lessons have been learned. His previous clone was physically perfect but emotionally immature. This second clone is at the peak of his powers, imprinted with all of the memories of his sixty-one-year-old host. His new job: to rescue the kidnapped daughter of a powerful politician and kill her revolutionary captor. With a handpicked team of an empath, an alien dragon, and his trainer, Kinoshita, Nighthawk sets out for the Frontier. But then he learns the truth about the kidnapping—and the man who’s paying him. Now the future Nighthawk has dreamed of will only be possible if he can get out of his present situation alive . . .
